Viola Organics has been Organic Certified with Bio-Gro NZ Ltd since 2003. We are very proud of this achievement and will continue to be organic certified in the future. What you may not know is that to be Certified Organic requires more than just ticking some boxes and buying Organic Certified ingredients. It also requires our suppliers to provide Non-GMo statements for all ingredients and additives.
In our view this requirement is a ‘no brainer’, it can be a challenge to find non GMO ingredients but not impossible. Research surrounding the long-term effects of GMO both in our food chain and bodycare are not conclusively reporting that these are safe, therefore we are not interested in being part of any ‘experiment’ that big corporations rule over. It simply is a matter of avoiding GMO at all costs and limit the risks to our health, that of our families and the environmental impact.
